        Promptly upon receipt of any application for assistance under 
    this part that includes the provision of outpatient health services, 
    the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall consult with 
    the Secretary of Health and Human Services with respect to the 
    proposed outpatient health services. If, within 45 days of such 
    consultation, the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines 
    that the proposal for delivery of the outpatient health services 
    does not meet guidelines for determining the appropriateness of such 
    proposed services, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development 
    may require resubmission of the application, and the Secretary of 
    Housing and Urban Development may not approve such portion of the 
    application unless and until such portion has been resubmitted in a 
    form that the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines 
    meets such guidelines.

                           (2) Guidelines

        The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Secretary 
    of Health and Human Services shall jointly establish guidelines for 
    determining the appropriateness of proposed outpatient health 
    services under this section. Such guidelines shall include any 
    provisions necessary to enable the Secretary of Housing and Urban 
    Development to meet the time limits under this part for the final 
    selection of applications for assistance.
